JT has been underwhelming so far this season. Playing with Marner I thought he'd be dominant but Marner is the one caring that line similar to how Marner carried Kadri last season. At 11 million for the next 7 years we aren't getting much bang for our buck and created a cap nightmare. All summer long I heard how the bad players he played with on the Island held his point totals down from superstar status but that seems to be a fallacy now. I'm not going to lie I'm disappointed with his start in Toronto. And before people start telling me I'm crazy keep in mind he's the second highest paid in the league and sits 33rd in league scoring, 15 points behind McDavid, 19 points behind MacKinnon playing with one of the best RW in the league.

I’ve been happy with him. He’s scoring a ton of goals, good on face offs, goes hard to the net, looks stronger on the puck than I remember from watching him in the past. Haven’t seen as much creativity from him but part of that is because Mitch has the puck all the time.

I don't understand someone being underwhelmed at all. He's on pace for 50+ goals and has filled in marvelously when Matthews was hurt. The team is doing great if slumping a bit right now. When Matthews and Nylander get back up to speed, Tavares will probably be even more effective as he won't be shadowed as closely.

Tavares is arguably one of the best free-agent forward signings in the league, ever.

Honestly very stupid thread. Tavares has played very well so far this season. Anyone who gets a 50 goal regular season in today's NHL is a superstar. But where Tavares will earn his pay grade is in 1st round against Boston. He will give us that net front tough skilled presence and he won't get pushed around like our other forwards (exception being Hyman). That line will be the key for us defeating Boston. And I take Tavares over Bergeron straight up all day every day and twice on Sundays. But time will tell.

Nice troll bud. He is over a P/PG. Mitch carries the puck and makes plays, it's what he does and JT is loving it. That's how tandems work lol
